Watch List notes:

Leone Leoni (c. 1509-90), Andrea Doria (Genoese admiral, 1466-1560), bronze medal, bust right with trident at shoulder, rev., galley moving to right with small boat containing two figures in the sea below, 40.5mm (Attwood 5; Arm. I, 164, 9; Pollard 490 = Kress 431; Bargello 712), edge filed down, a very fine early cast. The medal commemorates the release of Leoni from the Papal galleys to which he had been condemned for the murderous attack on the Pope's jeweller Pellegrino de Leuti. His release in 1541 came about through the intercession of Andrea Doria, here depicted as Neptune.
